Micro-transaction Management - Continued

I will continue to research the purpose behind Turbine's madness on the micropayment / micro-transaction management position.

I'm going to assume, for now, that this position will not impact LOTRO and only games Turbine has in the works. Perhaps, Turbine is developing a free-to-play MMORPG with micropayment as the source of revenue for the game. A bit quick to jump out and assume it's in relatione to games already out there.

It would be interesting to see if anyone in the gaming community would respond with legal action if their one-time life-time subscription fee ended up being undermined by Turbine with a micropayment plan. I can easily see an argument against such a thing as the provider would ensure the game is not worth playing without a considerable amount of money thrown into the micropayment system by the customer making their initial agreement questionable.
